"It Doesn't Just Survive on Autopilot"

Checks & Balances is a podcast of the Society for the Rule of Law Institute. The presidential historian and executive director of the George Washington Presidential Library at Mount Vernon, Dr. Lindsay Chervinsky, joins Gregg Nunziata on Checks & Balances for a discussion about the fragility of republics, the norms Washington invented from scratch, why every 50-year anniversary seems to land in a moment of crisis, and what it takes to keep the American experiment going at 250.
